[GRASSGUI] another idea for font setting

[Michael Barton]

As I just proposed, the idea of having a font path variable would be a
convenience function to get a user in the general vicinity of fonts at
least--or in exactly the right place if he/she knows where they want to
look. 

I agree about the potential for confusion. But this would reduce (though I
agree not eliminiate) it over the situation we have now.
